It's a Girl!
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14)
Scripture: Psalm 139:13-24
Songs: "Ancient Words"
I sat nervously by my wife's side. This ultrasound was going to be the first view of our first child. Having never experienced anything like this before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was anxious about the baby's development, my wife's health, and whether or not I was prepared to be father. When the video appeared on the monitor, we heard the doctor say something very unexpected, yet very familiar. As his eyes remained focused on the screen he said, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
The words the doctor said at that moment were exactly what we needed to hear. Hearing those words from Psalm 139 was more important than hearing abou the gender of our baby, the health of our baby, or any other interesting fact that the doctor could have pointed out. In that moment, it was good to be reminded that no matter what, God was in control.
Whether we find ourselves in a season of lament, a season of praise, or another season of life, the Psalms are a great place to find the words we need to hear. The ancient words of the psalmists are even relevant, in a modern doctor's office exam room!
Father, no matter what I am facing in this life, guide me to the truth found in Your Word. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
